Abstract:

CoCrMo alloys are used in hip and knee replacements due to their excellent long-term survival rates. However, high failure rates have recently been observed associated with adverse tissue reactions. CoCrMo alloy surfaces undergo microstructural changes during wear, including the formation of ε-martensite and, occasionally, a nanocrystalline surface layer. It is not clear whether these changes are beneficial or detrimental to the performance of the component. Thus, high-pressure torsion (HPT) was employed to produce different grain sizes and crystallographic structures in a CoCrMo alloy and the corrosion and tribocorrosion behaviour were critically investigated as a function of grain size. The results reveal a degradation of the corrosion resistance for the HTP processed samples. The contributions of mechanical and corrosion material loss in tribocorrosion is also examined.
